Hi to all,
Had my 40 ford running outside for it`s once a month run. I brought the car back in the garage and shut key off till next month start up which brings us to now.
Car wont start, battery fully charged, engine turns over freely, carb squirting gas, Coil putting out spark. I removed the external resistor and found that it had a broken internal wire. Installed new resistor and proceeded to pull distributor cap to check to see if points were
damaged in any way. All looked OK. STILL WON`T START.
Any ideas on what can be going on with this car ?
